    Il trattamento ottimale dell'endometriosi lieve e minima è laparoscopico. Le forme di malattia severa possono essere trattate chirurgicamente con approccio laparoscopico o laparotomico a seconda dell'esperienza del chirurgo e della presenza di localizzazioni extragenitali come quella vescicale o del setto rettovaginal

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Un colpo al cerchio ed un colpo alla botte: il ruolo del flumazenil nelle disintossicazioni miste alcol-benzodiazepine.

    Benzodiazepine (BZD) are the therapeutic tool of choice in the treatment of alcohol and Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) dependence even if BZD can cause tolerance and drug dependence themselves . The BZD, alcohol and GHB withdrawal symptoms have many traits in common and they can be both severe1. Occasionally, chronic use of BZD can reach the size of a real abuse2,3; this situation, when in comorbidity with a severe alcohol or GHB dependence, poses some problems in the clinical management of detoxification for the cross-tolerance phenomenon. This can entails a longer hospitalization and increased costs. It is little known and even less applied the technique of BZD detoxification by using the flumazenil slow infusion (FLU-SI), although the first clinical trial dates back to 20 years ago4. Flumazenil allows rapid detoxification because, when infused slowly, it acts as a partial agonist and it quickly normalizes the uncoupling of GABA-A receptors caused by BZD abuse 4-6. We present 2 case reports: a fast detoxification from a combined abuse of alcohol and very high-dose of BZD, and a fast detoxification from a combined abuse of GHB and BZD dependence by using FLU-SI

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
